On this one, oddly enough most are going pretty close to the speed limit. It's Ohio Creek Rd in Gunnison CO. It turns to gravel a bit further up the road and leads to a somewhat rough mountain pass. The only people that drive it are a few locals who are ranchers and tourists. I rode it last week and had maybe 15 cars pass me in about 20 miles. Sightlines are generally good, motorists are accustomed to seeing cyclists, there's rarely ever a delay in a motorist passing a bicyclist. It's a great example of how motorists and cyclists can exist in harmony. One time on the pictured ride I was climbing slowly up and around a blind bend when a couple trucks with horse trailers came up behind me. I just got off the road. We exchanged a friendly wave.
